Amaging, quite tiny and smart design. Does it have some kind of expansion bus? It could be nice if having a minipci for connecting some ethernet or wifi, for example.

You are an absolute genius. I wish I was as good at hardware as some of you.

Trully great piece of engineering, why not try selling it to someone with marketing tools and experience to really push it out there to the public.

Could get someone like alcatel, or amstrad to turn it out, someone like ntl or sky to market it in there mags or as part of there sky package.

Could be interesting

GOOD LUCK

Makes the boards we designed in ProTel at high-school look damned s***house.

That's what I call a hobbyist machine!  Where's my soldering iron and magnifying glass been stored...

 :-D

Keep up the great work (love the quote)!

Amazing how one individual can pull something like this off and put those big companies to shame :-o You don't happen to have a bare board for a fellow Dutchman, do you? ;-)

Oh yeah, is it RoHS compliant? :lol:

Okay.  It says the 68000 is running at 20MHZ.  Does that mean esentially it will have the performance of an 020 or 030?

Noticed the "Spare I/O" connector: Hard-drives?  Floppies?  CD-Rom?  Serial/Parallel connectors?

Wow! This is going to be the biggest selling piece of Amiga kit in the last 10 years.

Since it has VGA out, I assume it has some sort of flicker fixer built in.

Congratulations to you and your very professional looking project. It looks like something that was made by a full fledged company.

Will you award the designer of the best looking case the first one produced?  :-)

Looks good.

Are you going to design a case for it?

Maybe someone could create some mock ups?

Yeah, I wonder to.. I heard July 2007. But I dont know who will sell/manufacture it.

It is amazing that a private person can do something like this in his spare time. It looks nothing like homebrew hardware! And my wallet is still open!  :-D

Great stuff...
It's an honor for me to post the first comment on this.
/edit: damn... looks like somebody was faster ;-)
Never give up, never surrender... I like that. Absolutely clean and beautiful design of the board, what can I say? OK, well.... how much?  :-D
